Unlocking The Magic: Talking all things Disney Parks, Universal and Cruising

In this episode of Unlocking the Magic, Bruce and Connie are back after a short break with a hilarious, unscripted game of “Finish the Sentence”—covering everything from Disney attractions they’ll defend forever to Universal rides that scare them way more than they should. Whether you're planning your next theme park trip or just love listening to theme park banter, this episode is packed with laughs, bold takes, and relatable moments.

Happy New Year from Unlocking the Magic! In this episode, Bruce and Connie are BACK with a special “In or Out?” for all the big 2026 Disney and Universal movie releases and theme park updates. From Muppets on a roller coaster to Sadie Sink joining Spider-Man, they share their honest, hilarious takes—and yes, they go deep on Tonga Toast rules, Detroit-style pizza, and the ONLY way to do Star Wars rides right.

Join Bruce and Connie in this hilariously emotional episode of Unlocking the Magic as they dive deep into the infamous “UTM Curse” – where everything they hype mysteriously disappears from Disney and Universal parks! This isn’t your usual trip planning episode. It's therapy, memories, rants, laughs, and even a couple tears.
